Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and SDK-like scripts that help websites function, remember preferences, and understand usage patterns.

Some cookies are first-party, set by this website. Others are third-party, set by a service provider whose tools appear on our site, such as embedded media or analytics. Depending on your settings, third parties may be able to read their cookies across different sites.

We use cookies primarily to keep the site reliable and secure, remember your settings, measure performance, and understand what content is helpful. Because CryptoVault Reviews publishes security-focused product reviews, we try to keep tracking to a minimum and prioritize functionality and transparency.

Cookies can be session cookies, deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. Your browser usually lets you see stored cookies, delete them, or block some or all cookies.

In some regions, consent is required for non-essential cookies. In the EU, the ePrivacy Directive requires user consent for storing or accessing information on a user's device except where it is strictly necessary for a service requested by the user.

In the UK, similar rules apply under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, with an exception for cookies that are strictly necessary for communications transmission or for providing a service requested by the user.

Some cookie identifiers can be treated as personal data when they can single out or link to an individual or device. GDPR Recital 30 explicitly discusses online identifiers such as cookie identifiers and IP addresses.

Cookie choices are also relevant in U.S. privacy frameworks. California describes that businesses may use cookies or similar tools to record browser information, IP address, and online activity, which can fall within personal information concepts under California privacy law.

Where required, we ask for your preferences before setting non-essential cookies. If a cookie is strictly necessary to provide a service you request, it may be set without opt-in consent because it is required to deliver the service.

You can change cookie settings at any time by using the cookie controls on this site or by adjusting your browser settings. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect features such as saving preferences, loading embedded tools, or maintaining consistent performance.

Browser controls generally allow you to delete existing cookies and block future cookies. Many browsers also let you block third-party cookies specifically. If you delete cookies, you may need to reselect your preferences the next time you visit.

If we use analytics cookies, they are intended to help us understand which pages are useful and how users navigate the site. We use aggregated insights to improve content clarity, site speed, and internal navigation.

If we use affiliate or referral cookies, they are used to attribute a visit or purchase to a referral link. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our recommendations and may support the site financially, without changing our review methodology.

If we use advertising or targeting cookies for cross-site ad measurement, those cookies are treated as non-essential and should only operate where allowed and, where required, after you opt in. If this site does not run such cookies at a given time, this category may be inactive.

Some jurisdictions recognize opt-out preference signals. California regulations describe opt-out preference signals as a way for consumers to communicate an opt-out of sale or sharing, and California guidance notes that tools like the Global Privacy Control can serve as an example.

Some pages may include embedded content such as videos, widgets, or social embeds. Embedded providers may set their own cookies or use similar technologies when the embed loads. These third parties may collect data under their own privacy policies.

Our reviews may link out to wallet manufacturers, exchanges, retailers, or documentation sources. Those external websites control their own cookies and tracking. Visiting those sites is optional, and their cookie practices are not governed by this Cookie Policy.

If we use third-party measurement tools, they may set cookies to help us understand traffic sources and site performance. Where required, those tools should only run after you provide consent for the relevant cookie category.

If we use affiliate networks, they may set cookies or use tracking parameters to attribute a referral. This can record that you came from CryptoVault Reviews and may include a timestamp and a pseudonymous identifier. We do not intend for these tools to capture your seed phrases, private keys, or wallet PINs.

In California, sharing has a specific meaning related to cross-context behavioral advertising, and California's consumer privacy framework includes rights to opt out of sale or sharing, with amendments taking effect beginning January 1, 2023.

If you choose to block third-party cookies, some embeds may not load correctly, and some referral attribution may not work. You can still read our content; the main impact is typically on convenience features and measurement.

We aim to keep third-party scripts limited and review them periodically. However, third-party providers can change how their technologies work, so we recommend you also use browser privacy tools that match your preferences.

Last updated: July 24, 2026. We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technologies we use, legal requirements, or how our site operates. When we make material changes, we will update the last updated date and, where appropriate, provide a notice on the site.

This Cookie Policy is intended to be read together with our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy typically explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how you can exercise privacy rights, while this Cookie Policy focuses specifically on cookies and similar technologies.

If any part of this Cookie Policy conflicts with a contract you have with a third-party provider you access through our links, that third-party contract controls your relationship with them. Our site content is informational and does not create a professional-client relationship.

If you are located in the UK or EU, cookie identifiers and IP addresses may be treated as online identifiers and can be personal data in context. This is one reason we treat non-essential cookies as consent-based where required.

If you are a California resident and the site is subject to applicable California privacy requirements, you may have rights relating to personal information that can include online activity and identifiers collected via cookies or similar technologies.

To contact us about this Cookie Policy, please use the contact method listed on our Contact page. Include the subject line Cookie Policy Request and, if relevant, the browser or device you use and the pages where you saw the issue.

If you believe a cookie choice is not being respected, try clearing cookies and reloading the site, then reapplying your preferences. If the issue persists, contact us and we will investigate.

This Cookie Policy is provided for general information and is not legal advice. For advice about your specific situation or jurisdiction, consult a qualified professional.
